Sell Your Silver in Sheffield

Sheffield is one of the four English assay towns, hallmarking silver since 1773, and for centuries it has been a powerhouse of cutlery and hollowware. It was here that Old Sheffield Plate was invented in the 1740s, and the city's flatware filled dining rooms across the North and far beyond. If you've inherited a canteen of cutlery, candlesticks, a tea service or antique silver of any kind, Mozeris Fine Antiques will value and buy it: free insured courier from any Sheffield address, instant valuations and same-day payment.

We're a family-run firm of antique and precious-metal specialists who read hallmarks for a living. Most of our Sheffield sellers handle the whole sale from home — we collect by fully-insured, tracked courier at no cost, verify your silver at our office, and pay the same day. For larger collections we offer by-appointment valuations.

We Buy Silver From Sheffield and Across the UK

We buy all genuine silver: sterling and Britannia standard, antique and modern, English and continental. That includes tea and coffee services, trays and salvers, candlesticks and candelabra, canteens of cutlery and individual flatware, christening mugs and presentation pieces, sauce boats, entrée dishes, cigarette and vesta cases, photograph frames and small collectables, plus silver coins and scrap. We also advise on Old Sheffield Plate and electroplate, which are not solid silver — knowing the difference is exactly where a specialist protects you. Every solid piece is judged on hallmarks, weight, maker and condition; fine maker silver is worth far more than melt.

Understanding the Sheffield Hallmark

Sheffield's town mark is the rose (used since 1975; before that the office used a crown, which is why old Sheffield silver is sometimes called "crown" marked). Alongside it you'll find the lion passant for sterling, a date letter and the maker's mark. A common confusion is between hallmarked solid silver and Old Sheffield Plate or EPNS, which carry makers' marks but no assay hallmark — we identify both correctly so you know exactly what you have. Send clear photos of the marks and we'll tell you the office, year, maker and standard before quoting.
